Hey gang,
A few months ago I ordered a Morgan Monroe "Phantom of the Opry" MMS-4 from Folk of the Wood. I received it in good condition and have been enjoying it ever since. I noticed early on that the nameplate on the headstock said "Rocky Top." Being a beginner, I didn't think much about it. However, recently I was having some work done on it in a little shop. As I was browsing around, I saw a mandolin just like mine, except the nameplate actually said "Phantom of the Opry." I asked the owner about it -- he said that he thought Morgan Monroe made a slightly cheaper series of mandolins called "Rocky Top" (that were almost identical to the "Phantom.") Now, finally, my question: Did FOTW send me the wrong mandolin? I know that I ordered and paid for the "Phantom" -- my invoice even says so. Don't get me wrong -- I love the mando I have. But if they sent me a mandolin that is $200 cheaper than what I thought I was buying, then I want to remedy this by getting the right one. I've got no beef with FOTW -- it could have been an honest mistake, or I could be totally wrong about this whole thing. Somebody please help me solve this mystery:-)
